Active clinical trials for "Paronychia"

This is a randomized control trial evaluating the efficacy of zanthoxylum nitidum tincture on preventing progression of paronychia caused by afatinib from grade 1 to grade 2/3. Enrolled participates will randomly receive original treatment or original treatment plus zanthoxylum nitidum tincture immersion of the sick nail(s).

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about HT-001 Topical Gel for treatment of EGFR inhibitor-induced skin toxicities. The main questions it aims to answer are: Determine the therapeutic effect of HT-001 for treatment of patients who develop acneiform rash undergoing Epidermal Growth Factor inhibitor (EGFRI) therapy using the acneiform rash investigator's global assessment scale [ARIGA] Evaluate the safety of HT-001 during treatment Participants will apply HT-001 Gel once per day for 6 weeks, during which the effect on treating acneiform rash or other skin disorders induced by EGFRI therapy will be evaluated using different assessment tools to measure severity of rash, pain, and itching (pruritus), as well as the change in quality of life. The study will be completed in 2 periods: the first period is open-label (unblinded) and all patients will receive HT-001 topical gel with the active ingredient; the second period is blinded and patients will be randomized to receive one of three concentrations of HT-001 or placebo. Researchers will compare HT-001 to the placebo in the second period to see if HT-001 provides a significant treatment effect.

This study was designed to demonstrate the efficacy of this product in non-dermatophyte (Scytalidium dimidiatum) onychomycosis and chronic paronychia treatment in Thai patients.

Background: EGFR inhibitors (EGFRi) have been used to treat a wide variety of cancers nowadays. One of the major side effects of EGFRi is paronychia, which was not fatal but may caused huge negative impact on patient's daily activities. Current guidelines regarding EGFRi-induced paronychia suggested treatment with cryotherapy, topical corticosteroid or surgical intervention for Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 2 to grade 3 lesions. Recent studies showed that topical beta-blockers may be effective treatment for EGFRi- induced paronychia. However, the evidence was limited to case series and there was no randomized trials evaluating the efficacy. Goal: To evaluate whether topical timolol combined with cryotherapy was more effective than cryotherapy alone in treating EGFR inhibitors-induced paronychia. Method: In this single center, randomized, double-blinded, left-to-right comparison study, we plan to enroll 35 patients with EGFR inhibitors-induced paronychia. Patients eligible to enter this study should be over the age of 20 having at least one finger or toe involved with CTCAE grade 2~3 paronychia on each of their hands or feet. The paronychia should have no indication for surgical treatment. After enrollment, one physician will randomize the hands or feet to either timolol-plus-cryotherapy group or cryotherapy-alone group using a computer-generated random allocation scheme. The side allocated to the timolol-plus-cryotherapy group will receive topical timolol solution twice daily (since the beginning of the allocation and continue for 8 weeks) and topical cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen every other week (at the allocation day, at the 2nd week, 4th week and 6th week after the beginning of the trial). The other side allocated to cryotherapy-alone group will receive placebo (normal saline) twice daily (since the beginning of the allocation and continue for 8 weeks) and topical cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen every other week (at the allocation day, at the 2nd week, 4th week and 6th week after the beginning of the trial). In the treatment phase, patients may receive additional local or systemic antibiotics according to the dermatologist's clinical judgement, but they can not receive topical silver nitrate, trichloroacetic acid or corticosteroid ointment. Patients are evaluated at baseline, at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after the initiation of treatment. Efficacy endpoints include CTCAE grade, scoring system for paronychia related to oncologic treatments (SPOT) and physician global assessment, which are evaluated by a blinded investigator based on digital photos, and pain VAS score and patient global assessment, which are evaluated by questionnaire to the patients.

Paronychia is inflammation of the skin surrounding the nail that leads to secondary infection. Iatrogenic paronychia has been clearly associated with cancer chemotherapies. This phase-2 trial is a dose finding study and will evaluate topical VBP-926 solution against a vehicle control.
